Pickleball Is Booming.
So Are Elbow Injuries.
The Raleigh-Cary metro has one of the fastest-growing pickleball communities in North Carolina — and that shows up in our clinic every single day. Dr. Chambers sees more pickleball elbow injuries than any other condition.
Whether it's outer elbow pain from dinking, inner elbow strain from the smash, or ring-finger tingling from holding the paddle — we treat all of it, typically without surgery, with a specific return-to-court plan.

Patient-First Care.
Dr. Chambers has spent 14+ years focused entirely on elbow, hand, and upper extremity conditions. When you come here, you're seeing a fellowship-trained subspecialist — not a general orthopedist.

What Raleigh Patients Say
Answers to Your Elbow Questions
Quick Answers
Do I need a referral to see Dr. Chambers?
No referral needed. Call (919) 781-5600 or book online directly. Same-day appointments are frequently available at all four Wake County locations.
Will insurance be accepted?
Raleigh Orthopaedics accepts most major insurance plans. Call (919) 781-5600 to verify your specific plan before your appointment.
Is PRP covered by insurance?
PRP is generally not covered by insurance for musculoskeletal conditions. Pricing can be discussed at your consultation. Many patients find the long-term results well worth the cost compared to repeated cortisone injections that may worsen outcomes over time.
Can pickleball cause tennis elbow?
Yes — pickleball is now one of the leading causes of lateral epicondylitis in adults over 40 in Wake County. The dinking motion and backhand drive create the same ECRB tendon stress as tennis. Most cases resolve without surgery.
Which location should I go to?
Choose whichever is most convenient — Raleigh (Edwards Mill Rd), Cary (McCrimmon Pkwy), Holly Springs (Avent Ferry Rd), or Wake Forest (Governor Manley Way). Dr. Chambers sees patients at all four locations.
